Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) has been typically considered to be an endothelial-specific growth factor. However, it was recently demonstrated that VEGF can interact with non endothelial cells. In this study, we tested whether vascular smooth muscles cells (VSMCs) can express VEGF recept

We have examined the ability of transforming growth factor-pl (TGF-p1) and platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) to regulate the expression of various integrins in cultured rabbit vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC). We found that expression of the a,p3 integrin complex was induced by both grow
## Abstract Transforming growth factor‐β (TGF‐β), a multifunctional cytokine, has been widely suggested to play a role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. Supporting this, levels of TGF‐β are elevated in the cerebrospinal fluid, sera, and brain of patients with Alzheimer's disease. Since TG
